This problem is most probably related to indexing messages and you can simply solve it by following these steps :
(1) Quit Mail if it's already open
(2) Copy your ~/Library/Mail folder to your desktop as a backup incase something goes wrong
(3) Trash or move to desktop that file ~/Library/Mail/Envelope Index
(4) Open Mail and you will be presented with a Mail Message Import message, click continue and let it do what it has to to
That would simply import and reindex all mail messages rebuilding the database, Envelope Index is a SQLite database that stores key information about your emails. Over time it can get corrupted in a way that wouldn't knock out your Mail application. Furthermore, that should speed you your Mail application and dramatically reduce your emails size. I hopt that will solve your issue

My mail messages are blank after upgrading to OS X Mavericks. How do I fix this??

My mail messages are blank after upgrading to OS X Mavericks. How do I fix this??

Hi, I had this same problem. I have a load of work subfolders and was showing the message header but no content. I think it lost the link to the original messages.
There may be a simpler way but I fixed it by going to the mail folders in finder. I took the following steps:
Go to user library (hold down the alt key whilst clicking the Go menu in finder to access user library)
Go to user/Library/Mail/V2/Mailboxes. You should be able to see your mailboxes and your original messages (ending .emlx) after clicking down the hierachy in each mailbox. For some reason mail added a "-2" onto the end of each mailbox which I think has caused the problem.
Copy each required mailbox (.mbox) onto desktop. I removed the "-2" at this stage to clean things up.
In Mail, choose File/Import Mailboxes....
Import data from: Apple Mail. Click continue, navigate to desktop and choose the relevant .mbox folders. Click Choose.
It should then import the mail to a new folder called import in mail. You can then rename that folder or move the subfolders out.
I moved the .mbox folders on my desktop to my documents folder as a backup just in case. I then deleted the problem mailboxes from the finders mailboxes folder.
Problem solved - for me anyway!!
Hope this helps.

Mail message is blank.

Even after the update 10.5.1 some mail messages send by a PC user are completely empty, I thought.
But when I look at the version there is a message. When I dig into the /library/mail/mailboxxes and then look for the messages folder and do a quicklook on the .emlx file the message is shown. Not empty at all. Does anyone have solution?

I don't have a specific reply, but the same sort of problem. E-mail messages sent from someone else with a G5 with Leopard 10.5.1, using a pop e-mail server, come up completely blank! But all my other messages from various other sources, including PCs from the same pop e-mail server are fine. The same person has also tried sending me a message from their machine with their .Mac account and I can see that e-mail just fine.
Also, ALL of my e-mails do not show me the header information. I have to run the mouse over the header area and click on the drop-down arrow that appears to view who has sent the e-mail, and to whom it was addressed!
Can anyone help me with this? I am currently at a loss of how to take care of this!
Thanks!

E-mail Messages are Blank

Sometimes, a message I send to another person via e-mail will show up on the recipient's system (phone or e-mail client, like Outlook) as blank or a bunch of characters.
What could cause this?

Very difficult to say, without seeing it.
Have you seen those blank messages yourself or going on reports from the other person?
You'd need some detail, such as browser type, phone model, OS, etc etc.

Mail messages appear blank

All mail in arbitrary mail folders appear to have no message body (even though I know they do). I have tried deleting the Envelope files in my ~/Library/Mail folder, as I have seen suggested elsewhere, but (after importing) this does not fix the problem. It has, however, succeeded in quadruplicating each message!
Any other ideas?

I finally solved this by backing up my ~/Library/Mail directory, then removing it from ~/Library, as well as deleting everything in ~/Library/Preferences that began with com.apple.mail-. Then relaunching Mail, recreating all my accounts and slowly, slowly importing all the backups one-by-one.
I solved the duplication problems using Mail Scripts: http://homepage.mac.com/aamann/Mail_Scripts.html
All in all, the process took about 5 hours for a combined 18,000 messages (not including all the duplicates).
Time I could have spent better! :/

Why do Mail messages suddenly not open?

Does anyone else experience trouble opening email messages?

Without knowing anything else about your situation other than your email messages will not open, try this.
Quit the mail app completely and reboot the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
If that fails, a few more details would help.

The body of the mail message is blank

The preview shows the first few lines of the message but when I open the message the body is blank. It does show the sender, receivers and subject line, but the body is blank. How do I fix this?

This is not a common problem - at least it doesn't come up very often here - so I wouldn't expect a "fix". You may have something corrupt on your phone that is causing it, and it may be stored in your data so updating your phone or restoring from your backup won't solve it. You could try restoring your phone as new, without using your backup, then setting up your email account and see if the problem stops occuring. If it does, this would confirm that there is something corrupt in your data.

Suddenly I see the usual blue box with question mark inside mail messages instead of pix

Suddenly I see the usual blue box with question mark inside mail messages instead of pix.
That did not happen before.
It happened only on certain pages with Safari, like the google news feed which did not display pix.
However, this new mail problem is really disturbing.
I checked Little Snitch and port 80 is open.
I checked java pref.
I am at a loss.
PLEASE HELP!

Suddenly I see the usual blue box with question mark inside mail messages instead of pix.
That indicates that your Mail preferences are setup to not display remote images in email messages. You should check Mail->Preferences->Viewing and make surre the box to 'Display remote images in HTML messages' is checked.
I checked java pref.
Java has nothing to do with Mail, or displaying images in it or any browser.

Mail messages disappear - just a blank mail message for all emails

Mail messages disappear - just a blank mail message for all emails.
This happens sporadically since I upgraded to Yosemite 10.10.2.
It happens on all of my machines (Macbook Air, + iMacs) so it must be a software bug.
Is there an update coming through for Mail?

Back up all data. Rebuild the mailbox.

Several days ago some of the links in my Apple Mail messages stopped working. Specifically, the links going to some variation of "response beacon" don't work. All I see is a blank screen. Does anyone have any idea how to fix this?

WebI reschedule e-mail message blank

We have a scheduled report that e-mails to specific users the report link and an e-mail message. We go to the report - right-click - history; click on the recurring report - actions - reschedule. In the Destinations Options and Settings the e-mail Message specified in the scheduled report is blank? Is there a setting to have the e-mail message retained when you reschedule a report?

Hi
Most email service providers offer a web based interface to read/write/delete emails. On a number of occasions I've been forced to use my ISP's web interface to delete certain emails. For some reason, the main culprits for me are "Undeliverable" notifications sent from my employer's Exchange server. Invariably I'm unable to delete them via Mail and I have to login to the web server instead.

I purchased an unlocked iPhone4 last month. Everything was fine till yesterday. Today morning when I tried to check mail, i suddenly got an error message saying " Could not activate cellular data network: you are not subscribed to a cellular data service"

I purchased an unlocked iPhone4 last month. Everything was fine till yesterday. Today morning when I tried to check mail, i suddenly got an error message saying " Could not activate cellular data network: you are not subscribed to a cellular data service", when I checked on my network settings i was not able to find the cellular data network tab ( where we use to input APN manually). i even tried to restore my iPhone to its factory settings, Still it remains the same. i cant able to connect to Internet using cellular data. help me...Plz..

Where did you purchase it from? There are lots of iPhones sold as "unlocked" which are carrier locked phones that were hacked and are not officially unlocked. These phones are subject to re-locking to the original carrier, particularly when updated.

Mail is creating blank messages in the Notes:On My Mac folder.

Mail is creating blank messages in my Notes:On My Mac folder
It is currently doing it every 3 seconds. So after 5 minutes I have 100 new notes.
Does anyone know how to make this stop?
Some observations:
The notes only get created if Mail is open.
The messages appear blank and are interpreted by mail as messages, not as notes, and have the following headers:
Message-Id: <[email protected]>
Mime-Version: 1.0 (Apple Message framework v928.1)
Content-Type: text/html; charset=US-ASCII
X-Universally-Unique-Identifier: ac371d40-78ea-44de-b2b4-1cf93a1e5c60
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
I see correlated CPU usage bursts in Activity Monitor for: distnoted (~0.8%), Mail (~50%), SyncServer (~60%), fseventsd (~0.4%), Finder (~1%).
The notes get created regardless of the presence or absence of a network connection.
On my other iMac the same problem exists but the frequency is lower: a pair of notes is created every 15 minutes or so. The problem also exists on my MacBook Pro.
The frequency on this iMac was lower when I first noticed the problem.
I am a .Mac/MobileMe user and all three computers are registered for synchronization.
Has anyone seen this problem?

Hello David,
I had a much more acute version of this problem on both my Macs. I first mentioned this problem here:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=7752479#7752479
The only thing that worked for me was disabling Notes syncing and deleting all my Notes. This is not an ideal solution but to have a functional computer I had to take that drastic step (after trying many remedies offered on this forum).

Suddenly blue links in Mail message no longer open

Assisting an elderly relative. He has a six year old iMac running Tiger. Uses Apple Mail
He has two mail accounts. One from his ISP (POP) and an IMAP account for his AOL mail. The latter is the account into which most of his messages come.
Suddenly last week he finds that hyperlinks in any mail message no longer open. Formerly he clicked on the blue link and the link opened in Safari.
Now nothing happens when he clicks on a blue link which has been included in a mail message. Control clicking on the link also does not work.
What might have gone wrong and how do we fix this?
(His browser is working perfectly ; links on a web page open)

Hi Barbara,
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
Also, Very Important, how much Free Space is on your Hard Drive first of all? Click on the Macintosh HD on the Desktop, then do a Get Info on it.

Mail not displaying any messages. Blank preview panes.

I am not entirely sure when this started, but here is my problem:
I have to constantly quit and re-open Mail. When it is hidden or minimized in the dock and I receive a new mail message (which I am notified by the red badge number on the dock icon) I will not be able to see any of my messages when I bring the window to focus. If I select the Inbox...nothing. If I select individual accounts...nothing. It says I have a new message and there is a new message indicated by a number next to the account name, but the preview pane and message list pane will display absolutely nothing.
The only way to fix it is to quit and then re-open, but it will usually happen right again. That's the odd part...this does not happen all the time.
I currently have 3 mail accounts setup as IMAP exactly the same on my iMac and Macbook running Leopard 10.5.2.
To make it more confusing, this problem occurs on the Macbook about 10% of the time.
Any suggestions?

Woooooo!
It was a looooooong process and I would hate to leave out any steps and cause you to lose your saved mail.
Try this first.
Call them. Ask for tech support.
On the prompt, say "leopard"
When they ask for what kind of computer tell them the computer you are working on.
They will ask you for your name, etc. and serial number of your computer.
In my experience, they haven't asked for the date of my purchase of leopard.
Maybe they look up when you registered it; I don't know.
Anyway, tell them the issue & say a friend resolved it thru tech support, but the problem had to be bumped up to a "product specialist."
If they don't help you, post again and tell me.
I'll try and do it.
